Pizza in SW Calgary

I know there are a few posts on pizza but I am looking for a good Pizza in SW Calgary (near the signal hill area). Would like a pizza similar to Karouzo's but not quite as heavy.
Has anyone had any experiences with the following places:
Anton's (near Old Banff Coach Rd)
Vern's (the lite version)
Pocoloco
Spiro's
Brothers Pizza & Donair

I have tried Olive Grove and found it a little too heavy.
Thanks for your help!!

    Nothing beats Sophie's pizza near you....it is run by the family who originally opened Spiro's. Their pizza's are Greek in style. I miss them horribly now that I live in the DEEP South! I've never had Karouzo's so I can't compare. Good luck.

      Thanks, will have to try! I am looking for a few good options in the area...any good pizza (it doesn't have to be like Karouzo's - theirs is good though). Just not in the mood for thin crust and we are fed up with the crappy service at Papa John's.

        Sophie's never disappointed me. One time I mentioned their driver was really late on my previous order.....my pizza showed up in 40 mins and was free. I ordered their vegetarian once a week. It was my attempt at health food! LOL

        Cheers.

          Sophie's Spanako (spinach and feta) is one of the best pizzas I've ever had. They're on Richmond Rd next to Co-op with lots of parking, so I just pick it up, much much faster than delivery.

        Spiro's and Brothers are definitely in the "Greek," ie heavy, vein.
